I'm back (again) with another creation inspired by the Winnie & Walter Birthday Bash.
My next creation is a tag for the Gold + Watercolor, Over the Edge, and Anything but a Card challenges.
I enjoy making tags..I do not create enough of them.
For this tag, I used a piece of 6x6 piece of Canson cold pressed watercolor paper. I heat embossed some small circles (which now look like polka dots) for a bit of emboss resist.
I sprayed the watercolor paper with Cracked Pistachio, Lucky Clover, and Twisted Citron distress sprays. After applying the sprays, I added a lot of water so the colors could mix and flow.
I stamped the sentiment from the Big, Bold, and Party stamp set from Winnie & Walter, and the 'streamers' from a stamp set released in the Stamp of Approval Young at Heart collection in Versamark ink so I could gold heat emboss them.
Can you tell I LOVE the Big, Bold, and ??? stamp sets?
I love gold and green together. Perfect for a March birthday, don't you think?
I cut the piece down to about 3 7/8 x 4 inches, and added a piece of white card stock to the back to hide all the messiness. The corners were angled with a corner chomper. A crop-a-dile for a hole and some gold ribbon to finish it off.

Thanks for sticking around through my rambling and many posts today. I have one more; and I thought I would add it to the end here, instead of a whole new post. :-)
This card was inspired by the color challenge.
These are not colors I typically work with...but they are beautiful!
I created a panel from Tim Holtz Distress watercolor paper using Abandoned Coral, Peacock Feathers, and Twisted Citron Distress ink pads. I smooshed them on my craft mat, spritz with water, and ran the card stock through it.
I used the same stencil, my Twisted Citron ink pad, and a blending tool to create the panel for the right side of the card. To tie in all the colors, a strip of watercolor paper colored with Peacock Feathers Distress ink was added.
The panel was free cut to fit the size I wanted, and adhered with 3M foam tape. A few clear sequins from Doodlebug were added around the sentiment panel.
Woo! That was a lot of fun. Thank you for hanging in there with me.
Lovely projects, Tonya! The gold embossing on your green inked background is just amazing on your tag. Such rich colors, and quite a party atmosphere. Thanks so much for joining my Over the Edge Challenge at Winnie & Walter!
